Property Offences

Property Offences – Criminal offences against property – one of the most common aspects of criminal law is directed against property. As an experienced criminal defence lawyer in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland I am here to represent you in property offences, such as:

Aggravated theft

Burglary or armed robbery

Professional theft and theft within a criminal organisation

Embezzlement

Misappropriation

In contrast to purely violent crimes, many (non-violent) property offences enjoy the following privileged status: pursuant to §167 of the Austrian Criminal Code (StGB), under certain circumstances an offender may benefit from active repentance. Consequently, active repentance does not apply to all property offences!
